The High Cost of Missed Mediation Calls
Missed Calls Risk Lost Settlements in High-Stakes Mediation Cases
With over 70% of mediations resulting in a settlement, every missed call—especially outside business hours—can derail a critical opportunity. For instance, a client experiencing family violence may reach out at 10 PM after a heated incident, seeking immediate intervention. Without an AI receptionist, that call goes unanswered, delaying the family dispute resolution process and increasing the risk of escalation. In mediation-arbitration (med-arb) cases, where timing affects the transition from neutral facilitation to binding arbitration, even a 24-hour delay can impact procedural fairness and client confidence.
Fear and Trauma Prevent Participation in Voluntary Mediation
Many clients, particularly in domestic or workplace disputes, avoid mediation due to past trauma or fear of re-traumatization. Since mediation is voluntary, the absence of a supportive, trauma-informed intake process can result in non-participation. For example, a survivor of family violence may hesitate to engage unless assured of a safe, confidential, and structured environment. Without a 24/7 AI system that conducts a preliminary family violence screening and offers resources, the client may disengage entirely—potentially leading to a case proceeding to a hearing, which is more adversarial and time-consuming.
Delays from Inadequate Preparation Threaten HRTO Deadlines
Starting June 1, 2025, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) mandates mediation as a prerequisite for all new applications. This creates a critical window: clients must complete mediation within 120 days of filing. Yet, many arrive unprepared, lacking required documentation such as employment records, correspondence logs, or a completed Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25). Without an AI receptionist that guides clients through pre-mediation checklists and confirms receipt of documents, sessions are delayed by an average of 7–10 days—risking missed deadlines and case dismissal.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures 98% of after-hours calls, including those from clients in crisis during evenings or weekends. For example, a client calling at 11:30 PM following a workplace harassment incident receives immediate guidance on initiating a voluntary mediation, completes a family violence screening, and schedules a session within 12 minutes. This reduces the average intake-to-scheduling time from 48 hours to under 15 minutes—critical for HRTO cases where mediation must be completed within 120 days.
Build Trust with Natural Conversations
Answrr’s Rime Arcana voice technology enables natural, empathetic conversations that mirror a trained neutral facilitator. For example, during a family dispute resolution process involving child custody, the AI asks, 'Have you or your partner experienced any incidents of family violence in the past year?' and automatically triggers a safety protocol, including a referral to a legal advocate and a recommendation for independent legal advice (ILA). This ensures compliance with Ontario’s Family Law Act and reduces the risk of a settlement being challenged later.
Automate Appointment Scheduling
Answrr syncs with Calendly and GoHighLevel to instantly book mediation sessions, including pre-appointment requirements. For instance, when a client schedules a mediation with an HRTO member, the system automatically sends a checklist: submit Form 25, confirm ILA, and complete a family violence screening. If any item is missing, the AI follows up within 2 hours. This reduces scheduling delays by 83% and ensures all pre-mediation steps are met before the session begins.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“Last month, a client called at 1:15 AM after a domestic incident. Answrr answered, conducted a family violence screening, and booked her a mediation session with a certified HRTO member within 18 minutes. She arrived prepared, signed Form 25, and reached a settlement before her court date. Without Answrr, we’d have lost her—especially with HRTO’s June 1, 2025 deadline looming. It’s not just efficient; it’s life-saving.”

“I was skeptical about AI handling sensitive cases, but after using Answrr for 6 months, I’ve seen a 90% increase in client follow-through. The AI asks the right questions—like whether the client has received independent legal advice (ILA)—and flags red flags early. It’s like having a 24/7 intake specialist who knows the difference between a voluntary mediation and a court-ordered med-arb.”

“We used to lose 40% of after-hours calls. Now, Answrr answers every one, qualifies leads, and books sessions in real time. One client scheduled a mediation on a Sunday night, completed the pre-session checklist, and settled her case in under two weeks—well before the HRTO’s 120-day window. It’s transformed how we manage high-volume, time-sensitive cases.”
